DID YOU KNOW?

Version 2 of the RPP Brokers Handbook is out now! This is an expanded and updated version of the free, NNERPP-sourced guide to brokering in RPPs aiming to codify the work of brokers in education RPPs and strengthen the craft of brokering. This newly released expanded version features a number of new cases, tools, and vignettes that aspiring or current brokers might use to inform their RPP brokering practice.

We provide more information on Version 2 of the RPP Brokers Handbook is our new NNERPP Extra article “Introducing the NNERPP RPP Brokers Handbook, V. 2” and invite you to explore both the article and the Handbook.

EVENTS

This week, we invited members of the NNERPP community to a conversation exploring the “Why am I always being researched?” guidebook by Chicago Beyond. Facilitated by Paula Arce-Trigatti, Director of NNERPP, we explored how inequities related to “information” might show up in RPP work. Participants shared and discussed a number of important observations and questions around informational biases in RPPs and how they might relate to power and voice.

If you weren’t able to join us, you can find the recording and slides for this workshop on our Virtual Brown Bag website. (Find access details in your inbox, members only.) 

NNERPP aims to develop and support RPPs in education in order to improve the connection between research, policy, and practice.

NNERPP is made possible by the generous funding support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, William T. Grant Foundation, The Annie E. Casey Foundation, and The Wallace Foundation.
